This is an unpublished TAS which is based on Vykan12's segmented speedrun. In general I should have started from a completed game so I could turn off all attack animations and save time. I also spent too much time training units for this to be optimized. I hope you find it entertaining.

I utilize Edward instead of some stronger characters (Sothe, Tauroneo, Black Knight). The reason is that his Wrath skill combined with TAS makes him powerful due to high critical hit rate, yet high avoid to survive. Both these are enhanced after I give him Tauroneo's Resolve scroll, which gives 50% speed and skill boost when health drops below 50% (Below 30% needed for Wrath).
I like the Wrath & Resolve combo, even though it isn't as awesome as in Path of Radiance.

Techniques used: RNG Manipulation: RNG was manipulated to get good stat increases at level up, and for other gameplay purposes such as surviving a turn, or finishing a battle in one round where a critical hit or special skill attack are necessary. Up until Chapter 1-5, RNG was manipulated by changing the order of battles, where a certain combination will give better results than others. During Chapter 1-5 it was discovered that selecting an enemy for attack that is on a diagonal with a 2 range weapon will cycle the RNG. Two methods were used:
• Alternate between weapon and enemy select screens (slow, approx 10 fr/cycle).
• Alternating between the diagonal enemy and another enemy (fast, approx. 2 fr/cycle).

Difficulty came in that RNG Cycling and cursor movement were not consistent. On some levels dead frames would show up where input was not recognized, making these trial and error processes. When RNG cycling and movement was ideal, the TAS process was much less time consuming.

This movie ends with skipping cutscenes and scrolling text as needed until the credits roll and "Fin" screen appears, after which the game hangs and does not proceed to Records unfortunately.
